Rear brake pads

[TheBoy]

I use the smallest punch out of Halfords punch set, works well

Just reading through this. So am i going to have a problem getting hold of these pins... i remember EMD and Nick W talking about them a few months ago

[Diamond Black Geezer]

If you require some decent second hand pins give me a shout, I may have one set kicking around. total price for the kit now is around £50 mark, if you can get it. The search continues for another car caliper with suitable longer pins, not sure if anyoen tracked these down? The usual thing is a manufacturer claims they have both sizes, when they arrive, they're the shorter type.

Cheers DBG im gonna get a set of pads from GM then get the wheels off and have a look.

is that part number for vented discs....or are they all the same

We've been through this many times: the only way to buy the correct pins for a vented caliper is to get bent over the parts counter at Vauxhall. And their stocks were reported to be very low late last year.


Which means improvising. How you do that will depend on your equipment, tolerance for buggering about and timescale.


I would make four new pins, from about a quid's worth of material, in less time than it takes to make and drink a coffee.


Or you could replace the solid pin with a long split-pin as used in millions of Girling calipers. Chances are you'd have to find a supplier of them, so you won't get the job done on a Sunday afternoon.


If I was going to buy an improvised part, I'd want something easily available: 6mm roll-pins suit the bill, and will be on the shelf at your local industrial fastener supplier/bearing supply/chinese takeaway^**  A quick look on Ebay shows a pack of five 6x80mm rollpins  for £1.95. You only need 4.


None of this helps with the real problem, which is the anti-rattle springs. They're much harder to sort, although some experimentation with steel banding(as used on pallets) would probably produce a working part.


** satirical exaggeration to emphasize my point.

That part no was for pads, which are the same for any Omega, the springs/pins are a separate issue, and part number 

[Steve B]

Just been into main dealer.. gave him PN 9193476  Told me there is no such thing.  Told me the only rear pads are PN 9195058..pads/pins/shims..(need to order in) £35.55    yet i type this part number in this forum and its well documented that it is correct.

I sometimes wonder how threads get side tracked, the OP asked about rear brake pads and then we get two pages of vented callipers and pins, which has no bearing on the pads
